I incubated 8 Ayam Katawa eggs. 2 were bad. 3 hatched no problem but for some reason even though I used wet paper towels and the water in the troughs were full, 2 chicks needed help getting out. The 1st one died but the 2nd one lived. She is now 2 months old. when she was born she had...

Went out to a broken door today. This makes the 2nd time it's broken. Every 2 years seems to be the norm. If you have this automatic door, have you had any problems?

I've searched the forum and didn't find this exact problem, if it is indeed a problem. I have a Black Copper Marans hen that has alway had a dark spot in her eggs. She about 3 - 4 years old. It's a nice large egg too. Just want to make sure it's ok and that she won't get super ill or anything.

I'm sorry I haven't posted an update but thank you for your responses. I gave her Co-rid plus some electrolytes on day one. I fed her a small amount, maybe a little more than 1/4 teaspoon of pepto bismol twice during the day. the second day we took a syringe for diabetics, added .5 antibiotics...

The Black Copper Marans I hatched out are doing well, one is laying, but I now have a sick one. She started acting a little droopy Friday and today I saw her stumble just a bit. For the most part she walks fine but I did see her wobble. She stays hunched up with her head ooched back on her...

so pretty

What a beauty!

I have Blue Wyandottes. All the same age. One matured quickly and is a rooster, the other one that I know is a rooster acts like a hen. The rooster even tried to mate him. I know it's a him, just has to be. It's not crowing yet.

I hatched out 2 Lavender Orpington eggs. I'm pretty sure one is a hen in the making, they are about 4 months old? Anyway, I have them in with my Black Copper Marans coop, and they generally get along except for one of the LO's. They chase it away. I think they can't tell them apart either...

I was wondering if anyone had a Lavender Orpington that has a dark comb? I have 2 and one has a very dark, almost black comb.

Is it normal for a comb to be almost black?

Quote: You just made my day, I'm still laughing. Great thread by the way, very interesting.

will do.

I just leave them alone don't I? I removed the shell of the rotted egg. gag The mama hen doesn't seem to mind. Still, it's pretty gross and I don't like her sitting on the naystee.

I have 2 Blue Marans that hatched and 5 Black Copper Marans plus 2 Buff Orpington/Brown Leghorn crosses that hatched. One baby was zipping when I went to bed but the incubator (little giant) cooked the poor little thing. It lived for about 15 minutes after I pulled the egg off but at 107...

I have a Brooder, need eggs asap. I live in Texas. I just put that price because it wouldn't let me post without something there. Thank you!

Whoot! I have a PIP

That's exciting and you have a really nice brooder.

You want me to try and contact them for you? I live 2 hours from Austin but I could let them know someone is interested in their listing. I wrote them and told them you had been trying to email them. I hope mine gets through so you can get these beautiful hens into your flock :D

I haven't gotten a pip yet, in fact I thought they may have passed away My husband tries to remind me I thought the same thing the last time we had eggs in the incubator. Well today I saw a very active egg I haven't seen move in a while. No pips, but they still have time. Hard being a chicken mom
